Jane Gibbin;
All of the pleasures of beautifully presented restaurant food in your own home.
 
After to die for canapés and a 4 course dinner of utter loveliness I’m delighted, and slightly ashamed to say, my kitchen was left  cleaner and neater than when Joe and Hannah arrived.

"The best meal I've had in years".
Recently, I was lucky enough to be invited to a private dinner party catered by Joe. As an ex chef and committed foodie I can be quite fussy, but every course from the melting parmesan crisp canapes to the lemon parfait with rich chocolate ganache was full of flavour, perfectly cooked and presented in a menu balanced to ensure that we weren't too full to enjoy it all!
Joe used the best of local ingredients and flavours, adding his own twist - bacalhao ravioli, almond and lemon granita, black pork cheeks. I had stopped eating and cooking the bland, intensively-reared pork we get in northern Europe until I came to the Algarve and discovered black pork, which is fantastic in most places it's cooked and served. However, Joe takes it one step further. He presented a dish simultaneously melt-in-the-mouth whilst satisfyingly crispy - gorgeous!

I was introduced to Joe prior to coming to the Algarve and we corresponded on email to organise the menu, date and cost for the catering. We were a group of 22 and having Joe come to cook for us on one evening of the holiday was a real treat! It meant that all the adults could sit down, talk and enjoy our meal; without having to worry about cooking or clearing up. Apart from that, the food was fantastic and authentic to the local region in the Algarve.
